VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(June 17, 2014) – Claris Healthcare today introduced Claris
OneTM, an easy-to-use countertop device that offers family members the ability to connect with their
aging parents and share the responsibility of caregiving. Claris OneTM is an affordable solution for busy
adults wanting to provide the conveniences of online communication to their older parents without
having to worry about unfamiliar technology.
"Most families rely on technology to stay connected, whether it's through email, text, or online
services," said Geof Auchinleck, co-founder and CEO of Claris Healthcare. "Unfortunately many older
seniors are left out of these conversations. We believe every senior deserves to be connected online
with their family and home care providers.”
The natural bamboo frame is specifically designed to appeal to older, more reluctant seniors. The
device offers a 10-inch high-definition screen with 10-point multi-touch navigation, dual internal
speakers, and a front facing camera that allows for video calling. User monthly subscription includes
unlimited family and caregiver access to Claris Healthcare’s website, allowing Claris OneTM to be
configured remotely, any time, anywhere. Each device essentially creates a secure social care network
around seniors and includes a private email address and text message number, with unlimited text
messaging, video and photo sharing capacities. Older seniors wary of technology will find comfort in
spam, scam and privacy protection, as well as customer care available 365 days a year.
"Whether or not they’re in the neighbourhood or across the country, families want to know their
elderly family members are being taken care of," said Paul Sharman, co-founder and COO of Claris
Healthcare. "Our goal in developing Claris OneTM was to connect multiple generations by stripping
away the barriers associated with modern technology. After enabling more than 170,000 online
interactions with the successful launch of Claris CompanionTM, we’re looking forward to helping more
86-year-old grandmothers stay in touch with their grandkids with Claris OneTM.
As easy to use as a telephone, Claris OneTM is ready to display messages and notifications at all
times without the need to launch applications or login, and large buttons and text make interaction
easy. Further, Claris OneTM only allows invited contacts to send email or photos and does not deliver
advertising or any other unsolicited content, making it safe and secure for all users.
